Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang remained silent for a while.

The Sky Lantern kept looking at Shang.

It could understand why this human was so distraught.

The human had arrived in front of it in hopes of having his eyes healed.

Yet, to the Sky Lantern's and the human's surprise, the Sky Lantern didn't have the ability to heal his eyes.

"I might not have the ability to regrow your eyes," the Sky Lantern transmitted, "but there is someone out there that can."

Shang was distracted by the fact that he had come here for absolutely nothing, but the Sky Lantern's words pulled him back to reality.

Wait, there was a way to regrow his eyes?

"What way?" Shang asked via voice transmission.

"Far to the west of the world," the Sky Lantern transmitted, "lies the Holy Land of Life."

"I've never been there, but I have met beasts that have been there."

"The Holy Land of Life is the home of the Queen of Life."

"According to legend, the Queen of Life can heal any injury."

This was the first time Shang was conversing with a beast, but he couldn't be bothered thinking about that right now.

The Sky Lantern actually had a clue to get his eyes back!

"How can I get there?" Shang asked with a hopeful voice.

When the Sky Lantern felt the human's emotions turn from depression to eagerness, it felt glad.

It had felt a little bit guilty and ashamed that it hadn't been able to heal the human's eyes.

"After traveling to the west for many days, you will eventually reach the great ocean. Many beings believe this to be the end of the world, but if you continue going, you will reach the Holy Land of Life eventually," the Sky Lantern said.
